If you're intending to cross a lane marking you should signal. Under what circumstances would this not be true?

Isn't going into another lane, even partially, a change in course or direction?

You only partiality quoted 103. Quoted fully, it shows it's not at odds with my instructor's advice. Especially points 1 and 2

However I do stand corrected as code does say that you must always indicate if you are changing course or direction.

"Signals warn and inform other road users, including pedestrians (see ‘Signals to other road users), of your intended actions. You should always

- give clear signals in plenty of time, having checked it is not misleading to signal at that time

- use them to advise other road users before changing course or direction, stopping or moving off

- cancel them after use

- make sure your signals will not confuse others. If, for instance, you want to stop after a side road, do not signal until you are passing the road. If you signal earlier it may give the impression that you intend to turn into the road. Your brake lights will warn traffic behind you that you are slowing down

- use an arm signal to emphasise or reinforce your signal if necessary. Remember that signalling does not give you priority."
